Eva Vieżhnaviec in conversation with Olga Bubich
The future will be wonderful, but at a price that will darken our joy, says author Eva Viežnaviec. She is a writer who leaves no kind of violence hidden.
In her book What are you going for, Wolf? she focuses on a local story: the crimes committed here in the 20th century were devastating, and only she, an unrecognizable drunkard, manages to change that. Seeking love, not greatness, is the motto of the author, who describes her lifestyle as "weed" and herself as a compiler rather than a writer: she only collects stories.
As a researcher, she looks every day into the faces of the officers murdered in Katyn, some of them from Belarus. She is now publishing her yellowed photos and letters, which remained hidden from the families for a long time, to prevent them from being forgotten.
Can memory influence the future?
Eva Viežnaviec discusses this questions with author and photographer Olga Bubich.
